Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. *shakes her head* Nope, nope!
The First Ever Adventure of Foxman and Muttboy
Chapter Four: Combined Hearts
"Hmm… I wonder where they all ran off to." Sango sighed as she warmed near the fire in Kaede's hut. The fire in front of her danced a mesmerizing dance of joy and happiness; neither which the young woman felt at the given moment.
Miroku nodded in agreement as he scooted closer to the demon huntress, but stopped when he saw her tense up.
"Houshi-sama?" Miroku blinked, and took it as an invitation to move closer. "Do you think they're all together?"
"Hai." Sango looked up at him., surprised to find him so close. "Really?" she turned, taking a sudden interest in the fire that danced before them both.
"Hai, Inuyasha knows better than to leave Kagome unprotected, and Shippou never leaves her side, it seems."
~~~ Sango's POV ~~~
My body shook slightly then. The tears I had been suppressing for the past week shed quickly, and I was embarrassed for being so weak.
I felt a hand go to my shoulder, and squeeze it slightly. One hand. I was hoping, just once, that he wouldn't be a lech. For my sake.
"Sango, it's alright." Miroku tried soothing me. His voice sounded desperate, almost. Desperate, but sincere. Needless to say, I was shocked.
I turned to face him. With his cursed hand still on my shoulder, he brought his other hand to my hair, which he started stroking. His eyes seemed to be mesmerized by my hair. His sad, tired eyes. I wonder, was it that curse that made them sad, or something else?
~~~ Miroku's POV ~~~
Never had I seen such beautiful hair! The way it intertwined between my fingers seemed to play with my mind. The way it shined against the fire's light was simply captivating! Why hadn't I seen it before? Gods, I must be blind. I ran my hand through her raven hair again.
"Houshi-sama?" I jumped, her voice pulling me out of my own little world. I had become more and more acquainted to the silence the past week. The quiet was nice, but nothing compared to her voice, which was more beautiful than her hair, it seemed.
"Yes, Sango?" I smiled, looking at her face now. She was blushing. Was I making her uncomfortable? I pulled my hands away from her. Her blush didn't go away, so I presumed it wasn't of my doing. I returned my hands to respectable places on her shoulder, and in her hair.
"Houshi-sama…" her body shook, and instantly I knew she was crying again. So, I did the only thing I could think of doing, and not receive a slap from the beautiful huntress.
~~~ Sango's POV ~~~
He hugged me. His kind arms wrapped around me, instantly warming me. Was I dreaming again? No, this was better than a dream Much better. I could feel his breath in my hair, and feel him tense up when I didn't return his gesture. So I did.
"Please, tell me what is wrong, Sango." he begged, using the same desperate tone I had heard come from his earlier. I nodded, even though he couldn't see me.
"Lately," I swallowed, still unsure if I should tell him. This was going to be harder than I had originally thought. "Lately, I've had this feeling that something terrible is going to happen to Kagome, and -" I broke down in silent tears again. What was wrong with me today? Surely that couldn't be all that was bothering me, could it? I wouldn't be able to finish. I couldn't.
He hugged me tighter, bringing me closer to him, and whispered soothing words in my ears. I couldn't hear them though; the sound of our combined hearts filled my ears.

A/N: Ack!! *hides* Eheh.. First I write Inuyasha out of character, and now SANGO is a cry baby! Keh! I seriously didn't think I could write something so… Mushy. O.o I was trying something new with the POV things, I don't think I'll be writing anymore in here like that, but maybe I'll make a different story like that. Hm…
